DESCRIPTION

2021-22 GFI student fellow

As the Garden Fellow, Estrella will create and implement a series of events/small projects that will promote community growth within UCI’s Latinx student population. All events will be collaborative efforts as she hopes to build stronger and closer ties with other campus groups and organizations to ensure inclusivity. There will be close collaboration with UCI’s Latinx Resource Center. Each event will relate to her roles in the garden and her goals as an environmental justice activist. The fellow will also lead the produce donation program between the AV garden and the pantry at the FRESH Basic Needs Hub. This is a hands-on, experiential learning internship engaging the range of skills essential to urban agriculture, both inside the garden and as a community organizer.
